Super Smash Brothers

It was the game that got everyone talking in Week 23, and Columbus Crew head coach Gregg Berhalter joins the guys to reveal why he was intent on honoring Landon Donovan, why Wil Trapp still has plenty to learn and why that Mix Diskerud deal is dead for now but maybe not forever. Plus, does Seattle need a mentality change? Simon Borg is back and he's already riling up Sounders fans.

The Maltese Falcon has nothing but good things to say about FC Dallas and Tesho Akindele, though. The Colorado School of Mines product -- he would be designing power grids right now if he wasn't playing soccer -- says he's trying to find a signature celebration and claims nobody can touch him in Super Smash Brothers on Nintendo 64. In case you're curious, his character is Pikachu.

After a month of consuming the 2014 World Cup, you probably think you know everything there is to know about it. Well, James Montague will make you think again with "Thirty-One Nil" featuring stories you likely never heard about in the lead-up to Brazil. We spoke to Montague about his adventures around the world and if you haven't yet ordered the book, you'll likely be tempted to after listening to our special Book Club edition.
